As of this writing, somebody’s been placing bombs at homes in Austin, Texas. There has been one death at this time and another causing grievous injuries.
The intriguing thing about this event is that all of the bomb recipients have been black. Setting off a storm of suggestions that this is a racist act.
The pilot did get out.
This is a sad story and there’s more to it.
At least this is the speculation.
Evidently ole Stormy signed some kind of disclosure agreement although so far nobody’s presented any signed document with Trump’s name on it.
Lots of speculation on this matter. Now it is said that she will pay back the $130,000 graft money if she can violate the terms of the agreement and tell the story of Stormy and Donald Trump.
Please.
Even if she is released from that she made an honest contract to respect, I could care less about Stormy Daniels’ and Donald Trump’s “love affair”.
At this point in time, with the extremely handsome Harvey Weinstein masturbating in front of all his female visitors, with Senator Al Frankin also a creep, and let’s not forget Bill Clinton, rapist and user of vulnerable young interns….this country is not going to roll over in sexual shock over a Trump affair with a porn star.
Everybody knows Trump loves the ladies. And even at that tales from his life have not even reached the depths of degradation of Harvey Weinstein (that guy is so handsome I can’t wait to spend my time in his shower stall) or Bill Clinton.
I hear the lawyer trying to get ole Stormy out of that deal is closely affiliated with Rahm Emmanuel, a Clinton crony.
I don’t know how those people can live with themselves.

The rumors run amok.
What is NOT a rumor is that his deputy Secretary was fired for spreading the rumor that Tillerson was fired and was not notified fairly. He learned it via Twitter.
Well that turned out to be a lie so this guy got fired.
Also rumored about Tillerson, he secretly tried to sabotage the Iran deal. He fought against moving the Israel capital to Jerusalem. He believed in global warming as caused by man, especially Americans.
What is TRUE is that he once called President Trump a MORON and as President of the Boy Scouts of America, he okay’d gay leaders and members.
It would seem like Tillerson and Trump have not been getting along for quite a while.
From what I know about him, I am glad he’s leaving. Mike Pompeo was appointed new Secretary of State .
But Mueller won’t give it up.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, Hillary Clinton went to some snooty conference in India and positively made a fool of herself.
It’s getting so I want to pray for this woman.
First, she fell down the steps…TWICE! She blamed it on the steps and her sandals but something’s wrong with that woman.
Then she launches into yet another reason she lost the election, pointing out that it was the people with a higher annual income who voted for her.
Whatever. Pray for this woman to find some kind of peace.

So Republican Saccone won the fight for an open House seat in district 18? Conan Lamb, a very handsome guy I might add, as of this writing, appears to have won but it is not yet official as I type.
Don’t let the Democrats yap and yell that they’re beating the crap out of the Repubs. This election was no big deal to replace a Rep only until the coming November. And at that the districts are being cheatedly done as these things go so BOTH of these guys will run against each other.
First, what is this thing with bringing some kind of animal with us everywhere we go? Let me establish that nobody loves animals more than me, who owns two big dogs, two cats and a kitten who is the baddest animal on the planet. He can’t wait to grow up and be King.
But lugging animals around seems to be a huge inconvenience but not an impossible task, I know that.
But to bring a puppy in a crate in the passenger area of the airplane?
Also, now that I’m on a roll, what’s the deal with having pets close by for our mental health?
Now I know there are lots of yells out in la-la land, directed at me even, who would be quite sad without my pets.
Anyway, according to the rules, United Airlines allows an animal on the flight but only if in a cage, a cage that fits under the seat of the passenger in front. Like such a setup is arranged.
This puppy’s crate, for whatever reason, would not fit under the seat in front of its owner and so the flight attendant made the owner put the crate, with the puppy stuffed inside, in the overhead rack.
When they took the puppy out at flight’s end, the poor thing was dead. It had smothered.
United Airlines released a blanket apology and promised to take all responsibility for the error of the UA employee.
Who never should have forced those people to stuff that dog into an overhead rack and the airlines readily admits that was a wrong action.
Meanwhile…I see people bringing peacocks around with them, pet rabbits, and, of course, all manner of cats and dogs.
This is going to get out of hand.
It started out with seeing-eye dogs, a good idea and worthy.
But a pet to lick our tears?
It’s too much, it defies common sense.

A recently-built bridge in Florida collapsed yesterday and one has to wonder.
It wasn’t open to full normal use but cars were allowed to drive under and some people could be seen crossing over the top.
As of this writing there’s been no official death count. I doubt it’s terribly high but what? Nobody inspected this thing?
It opened this past Saturday and less than a week later it collapses?
He is in trouble but he hopes and prays he can stay on the payroll through today so he can get his great pension.
No doubt Jeff Sessions, the biggest disappointment in an AG…EVER…will let him do it.

So Andrew McCabe has been fired?
Folks, our FBI is so corrupt and that Comey guy is the head of corruption.
And Mueller, PLEASE STOP CALLING THAT GUY A MAN OF PRINCIPLE, A GOOD INVESTIGATOR.
Mueller is a loser. You have to be a corrupt loser to rise to the top of our FBI.
In front of our eyes they are trying to impugn a lawfully elected president, this while using laws the wrong way, lying, finding other liars across the planet.
And McCabe’s wife ran for congress in VA and got many, many thousands of dollars from the former Democratic Governor of Va.
And I’m willing to bet that there’s a whole bunch more on this McCabe guy.
Next week should be a roller coaster for news junkee.
On a personal note…..folks I want to share something here, please forgive any intrusion.
For you all have probably read often about my friend Diane Feinstein. Of course she is not the REAL Diane Feinstein but my friend, also named Pat, like me, and looks like me.
I also look like Diane Feinstein but I am not proud of that and bear in mind Feinstein is 25 years older than me.
Feinstein lives with a man who is not her husband, I don’t know why they didn’t marry. But they’ve been together for over 20 years and they always seemed happy together. Her friend has been very sick of late and this past Saturday night he died of a stroke.
What a horrible weekend. First, Feinstein has a very sick dog, crippled on his back legs, a beautiful Alaskan Husky who knows me well because, well he thinks I might be his female owner.
Since Feinstein had to go to Philadelphia where her friend had been transported as the local yokel could not help him, I had to go to her house and watch her dog.
I was terrified. Poor thing can barely walk but he don’t want anyone touching him in his hindquarters. This dog is about 150 pounds so he’s not a puppy.
Anyway, I got through it. Feinstein was there when her friend died and she’s never have gotten someone to watch that dog. And I sing for the dog. Skye-his name-loves to sing as this breed does, so I sing to him and he knows me.
Feinstein is a beautiful singer and leads our masses, funerals and weddings. Once upon a time she sang in musicals up in Wilmington.
Anyway, dog is fine, Feinstein is home and I will help her get through it.
Whomever ordered the "live testing" with cars driving underneath is the idiot in this fiasco.
Of course Miami being a third world enclave, is infamous for disasters like this happening,few should be surprised. ................. Trey Gowdy now on with Wall ASS saying you should ask someone else he doesn't know anything..... Typical Gowdy we cant do nuttin' BS.
